Who has the right of way in this situation here?

All cars are coming at the same time. I'm not sure if this is right but this is how I think it is right: Car 2 can go through the intersection while car 1 makes a right turn out of the parking lot, then car 3 can turn left after car 2 passes and then car 4 can turn left after waiting at the stop sign for car 3 to make its left turn correct?

If not then someone should take away my driver liscence.

You are correct. The person on the right is the one with the right of way.

I would just wait and let everyone else go first, no sense in getting in an accident because I didnt remember who's suppose to go first.

Car 2 goes first, then car 1, followed by car 3, then car 4. OR Car 1 and 4 can go at the same time as long as 4 doesn't rearend 1. Car 2 must go first because he is already traveling.

What if everyone had that mentality?

Anyway, its 2, 3 and 1 (at their own discretion), 4.

But Car 4 has the stop sign and Car 3 doesnt. The thing is I was in car 3, car 2 and car 1 went, but then I went to make my left and the IDIOT in the pickup (car 4) decides hes gonna make his left even tho he has the stop sign. We didnt hit tho but he stopped short and was looking at me like im an idiot. I dont think the guy knew where he was going. I didnt honk the horn but I DID give the finger, mostly because his car was a big pickup (I think a Nissan Frontier) and my car is a BRAND NEW 2009 Hyundai Accent tiny little hatchback that I just paid $12000 for of my own money and he almost plowed into me.

Yeah, car 4 definitely doesn't have the right of way there. Car 4 needs to wait for car 3, at least according to traffic laws which are in place specifically to prevent things like that.

If this was GTA, I'd just get out of my car, blow up the others with my missile launcher, get back in my car and proceed.

It's actually not a bad mentality to have - they tell you (at least in my driver's ed class) that if taking your right of way has a serious chance of making you get into an accident, it's probably a better idea not to do so, even if the other person technically doesn't have the right of way.

Of course, that doesn't mean you should actively cede your right of way to everyone - that would mean you would never ever get out of your driveway.

Why would you ever flip somebody off? I mean seriously.

Well, the second part is how I meant it. I wasn't saying you should assume you have the right away, close your eyes and hope for the best...

Had to pick up my sister from Drivers Ed all the way in North Attleboro and then while I was up there had to go to the car dealership to pick up my final registration paper and have it inspected. When she found out we werent going right home she was NOT happy so that put me in a bad mood. I was actually gonna do it the other way around but then she was getting out early and didnt have enough time. I dont think the guy saw me anyway, lol. Plus everyone is trying to make driving my new car a miserable experience, the same car tailgated RIGHT ON my rear end for almost 10 miles on my way home after dropping my sister off in the morning, actually right before that I had a van with NO working brake lights stop short in front of me (it made a left turn after that so I didnt get a plate)

2, then 3 and 1 would go (though it's best for 1 to wait for 3 since some people leave their signals on by accident, as dumb as that sounds). Lastly, 4.

North Attleboro? Are you from MA?
